About the store
Experience
I have been a teacher of mathematics, chemistry and science for just over a decade. I now spend a lot of my time creating resources and acting as a consultant in schools, looking at ways to improve mathematics pedagogy.
Teaching style
I love being creative with mathematics and rewarding students for effort. My resources focus on rewarding students of any skill level to have a sense of accomplishment in the lesson. I am a big believe in low-floor high-ceiling tasks that are easy to use and "don't crash", haha!
My own education history
I have worked in multiple state schools in Melbourne, Australia.
